KINGDOM COME SUPERMAN STATUE
This is the first and, in my humble opinion, the best of all of Alex Ross statues. It's such an iconic and the pose greatly captures the brooding mood of the KC Superman. It measures around 15 inches (38 cm) and only 5000 were made. The huge statue, sculpted by Alex, also includes a mini poster, painted by him which features the design on which the figure was based on, plus it is signed. This amazing bust, not only belongs in any collector's shelf but if it were 30 ft (10 m) tall it would look great in your local park, too. Due to its hefty price tag of US$200 to US$400 (without shipping costs) this statue isn't IN MY COLLECTION.
The pictures you see weren't taken by me but whoever took them did a fantastic job.
This statue was later re-issued in roughly half the size and fully colorized. It's nice but it isn't as striking as the all-silver one.

Your observations are bang on imo. The original sculptures in metallic finish are far superior to the later painted versions. I think the problem with the latter was the paint itself. The level of detail in the original sculpts was so precise that it would take very careful painting to do it justice.
Here's an idea: I was thinking that the original sculpture could be used to make a pretty nice BUST that would sure look good on my bookcase!
